Ingredients

  • 1/4 c. Finely minced onion
  • 1 Tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil
  • 2/3 c. Corn meal
  • 1/3 c. Chestnut flour
  • 3 x Dry tomatoes
  • 1 pch Black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Dry oregano
  • 1/4 tsp Dry thyme
  • 1/4 tsp Dry basil
  • 3 c. Chicken broth
  • 2 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl combine the first four ingredients. Slice the dry tomatoes into bits and add in to the rest. Add in the seasonings and mix well.
  2. Transfer to a sauce pan and stir in the chicken broth. Heat and let simmer till thickened, this may take 5 to 10 min. Stir to keep the bottom from sticking. Stir in the Parmesan cheese. Pour into a shallow pan or possibly muffin tins no more than 1 inch thick and allow to cold in the regrigerator. Once cooled the congealed batter can be sliced and put on an olive oiled cooke sheet and baked at 325 F till browned. Serve while still hot.
  3. NOTES : Prior to corn's introduction in Europe in the 16th century, Corsica was known for it's chestnut polenta. The ratio of chestnut flour to corn meal is not critical.
